My brother's birthday is tommorow! + Chess tips

My little brother's birthday is tomorrow! He will be 4!
Also, my Homeschool coop is having a chess club, since tomorrow is FFF, and I can't post, because of my brothers birthday, I will share some chess tips. And a website where you can play chees!

Chess tips:

Bad Moves - What you should NEVER do!

Never move silly pawns anywhere in the beginning of the game, especially not on the outer files like Black has done below. You just lose time and run behind in piece development.
This means that your opponent can and will attack you with his pieces, once he has castled. Pieces are: knights, bishops, rooks and the queen, not pawns! He can attack you as he has more pieces developed than you have. He will simply overrun you in the center because he has more knights, bishops, rooks and the queen actively placed and you got no pieces placed actively to defend yourself. Why? Because you have wasted your time to push some silly pawns here and there and may have not even castled.

It is very important that you understand this principle!
Read this text above a hundred times to get this into your head or you will never ever become a good player. So don't touch useless pawns in the beginning of the game.
You should first move one or two center pawns, then develop your knights and bishops towards the center. Best is to get the kingside knight and bishop out, then castle quickly. See the white position. White is going to get out his kingside bishop next and castle afterwards.

December!

It is December! My brother's birthday is in 3 days (He will turn nine) and it is also time to get out the advent calendars! I like them, because your always waiting till the next day to see the surprise. I helps me, because I always think Christmas is sooooo far away, but the calendar keeps my mind off of waiting for Christmas. I also like seeing the Christmas lights, inflatable and trees. I am going to put a few polls on the sidebar about Christmas and December.

Lego Birthday party!

Hey guys! I am back! Today's post is how to make an AWESOME birthday party! My brother gave me inspiration:
My brother is turning five in two days! He wants a LEGO party. (He is obsessed with Legos, and so am I.) Since I am the type of girl who loves to plan ahead of time, I immediately went to the computer for ideas. First, I looked for games. Here are some ideas. We are going to do number 7,10, 15, and maybe 21. I bought a Lego creator toy as the prize for #7. Then I went to look for decorations. I went to the Party City website. Unfortunately, they only had Lego star wars. I later found a website that said all you need for decorations, is yellow cups and a sharpie. you can draw a smiley face on the cups and they will be Lego minifigures. Then I wanted some sitting down activities. I could find anything. I went to The Lego chima website to play a game and found a Chima Party Kit. I printed the color pages, (WARNING! They use LOTS of ink.) and asked my mom about the garland. I didn't print the invitations because when we have a birthday, it is usually just family. Maybe friends if we play outside. I found these masks too.

That is how we are going to have a great birthday. I can't wait to set it up. I also got This for my brother. I can't wait to see the look on his face.

Bye! (You can wish happy birthday in the comments. I will give you a shout-out in my next post!)
